For every magazine there is a tripping point to stop reading. There are 2 things for me, (1) the price and (2) is it still worth reading it.

1. Everything has become so much more expensive and the quality does not go along with the price increase.

2. I don't like the layout with empty pages with only photo's.

I downloaded old Elektor magazines from the Archive. I still love the layout and the way these articles were written and the circuits they explain. Nowadays there is no depth of articles. Last year I bought an Elektor. I saw the layout of an article, a picture spread over 2 pages, a title and a subtitle and the text started on page 3. WTF! I don't pay for empty pages. The article was superficially treated. I don't buy the Elektor anymore.

Still lot's of old Elektors to go
